In Australia, a small loan is simply a personal loan of up to $2,000 that’s repaid relatively quickly (between 16 days and one year).

You’ll find lots of small loan lenders in Australia promising ‘cheap’ or ‘low interest’ rates, and many of them allow you to apply online, as we do. But you need to be careful. Many of these small loans are one-size-fits-all loans, with the lenders charging the highest fees they can.

At Fair Go, we provide small unsecured personal loans from $500 to 2,000, but we personalise our loans, which means we tailor our terms to minimise your borrowing costs. Learn more about our tiered small loan fees and why we pride ourselves on providing the fairest small loans in Australia.

We encourage all our customers to explore what’s possible for their unique situation and apply for a loan that suits them. Even if you think you have bad credit, we assess each application individually, making sure we’re being responsible lenders and you’re getting a fair go.

Anything you like. Our small loans help customers get fast access to funds with a simple, 100% online process. They can be used to cover or spread the costs of:

To be eligible for a small loan, applicants must:

  • Be over the age of 18

  • Receive a regular income from employment

  • Be an Australian resident (or on an approved visa)

  • Not currently be in hardship, Part 9 debt agreement or bankruptcy.

We provide loans ranging from small loans of $500 - $2,000, medium loans of $2,050 - $5,000, and large loans of $5,000 - $10,000 for customers across Australia, from Sydney to Perth and from Melbourne to Cairns.

What’s more, whether you need a small loan or a bigger loan, our quick, easy and secure online application process is the same. You can apply online and get a provisional decision from our smart system in minutes.

Apply for your loan today and see for yourself how fast and simple it is.

Our small loans have fixed rates tailored to you, so you know exactly what your repayments will be. And repayment terms also vary, from three to 12 months, depending on what you need.

While we can’t guarantee whether you’ll be approved for a loan until you complete an application, we do have an eligibility estimator that gives us a good idea. And better still, there’s no impact on your credit score to find out. Read our blog for more tips on improving your chances.

In Australia, the establishment and monthly fees for small loans are capped at set limits. And while most small loan lenders charge the highest possible fees, we like to do things differently.

Our interest rates and establishment fees for small loans are calculated using risk-based pricing. This means you get a tailor-made interest rate based on your credit score.

We work quickly for our customers. So, you can expect an outcome within 24 to 48 hours of applying for a small loan.

Loan repayments depend on a few things, like your interest rate and the loan amount. Our handy loan calculator gives you a general idea, but the customised interest rate we give you is the most accurate way to know.
